I took a video of what was happening to show exactly how it happens. What could be causing this? Bosch Dishwasher Water Inlet Leak - YouTube

If there is a restriction, wouldn't it be from the float assembly forward? Wouldn't this back up the water in the inlet assembly?

It turns out that the access valve (water inlet valve) is exactly what the issue was. Once the valve was replaced the water level was correct and there was no overflowing. There was no restriction in the water inlet system "which caused" the overflowing. There was simply too much water getting in. There is an internal diaphragm to the water valve that regulates water flow; this diaphragm was not functioning as designed. $36 part versus an $80 part.
